Sorry, I really am not trying to be a scrooge, but we went with 6 adults and 6 children. Price 54.00 each ticket was ridiculous for what was offered. The less ticket you could purchase on line were sold out. Definitely will not be going back again.

Well when we got there it was raining hard and it was just so dark and wet could barely see anything. Got lost a couple times. And the park closed earlier than it was supposed to, But at the end of it all they apologized for the weather. I also appreciate them giving free tickets so we could come back and enjoy it
